When these muffins are baking, the aroma is irresistible! I make them often when apples are in season.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded peeled tart apples
- streusel topping:
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- In large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. In another small bowl, combine topping ingredients; set aside 3 tablespoons topping.
- Spoon half of the batter into 12 greased muffin cups. Sprinkle with the remaining topping. Cover with enough batter to fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with reserved topping.
- Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
